Looks better without a giant rock in it, that's for sure. [ let alone the fact that it's all red and ominous and terrifying right now at home but
it's fine. ]
...I get it, though - nothing better than getting out into the fresh air. Grew up around it, myself, and being in Grand Trad made me twitchy. [ a hum. ] You must be missing the ocean like hell, too.
at the mention of the ocean he just. puts an arm over his eyes with a laugh ]
I was missing it in Oceanside when I could see it. You know it took like, six weeks to get access to the beach? [ and he was DEAD when it came out. ] I'm gonna lose my sea legs at this rate.
[ help. he laughs a little, though, takes the kick easy, and folds his hands behind his head. ]
About our world, hm? I miss his highness, certainly. [ first and foremost. ] And the rest of our crew. Things are - well, you saw, back in our memories. Nightmarish, at the moment.
... But... not long before things all went to hell, I used my inheritance to buy a hundred houses for the remaining refugees of Halia. [ there's a very soft emotionshare here, a sensation of sadness and then something warm and hopeful, a deep, deep love for his home and his people. ]
I'm looking forward to getting back to getting them settled, above all.
Indeed. Us winning is only the start of things - it hardly fixes any of the problems, just stops the bleeding. It'll be his highness' job to help guide us to a better world.
...Rebuilding my house and my home is my own duty, though. I've long had the dream to restore Halia to her former glory, as I remember her; those refugees are my true inheritance, above anything else. It's going to take time, effort, and funds, but it'll be beyond worth every moment of strife.

[ with a snort and an eyeroll, but with a laugh of his own. ] That'd be like me forgetting how to pick up a sword.
[ the sort of thing that you just have as your beating heart, a part of your soul. he gets it. ]
Sounds like torture, though, to keep you from it specifically for that long. Suppose that's the specialty of these places.

[ he's joking. he reaches out a hand towards the sky just like. to stretch ]
Well, I'll get to see it sooner rather than later, hopefully. Anything you're looking forward to back home?

Sounds like you've got your work cut out for you even after you fix everything and make Louis swallow his own teeth.

[ and also because he CANNOT let it go unteased; ]
And that gives you some time before you have to get married.

You are never going to let that go, are you...?

Aw, c'mon. Everyone trying to find workarounds for something that isn't a real problem's been a little funny.

You're all enthusiastic, I'll give you that. Insane, but enthusiastic.
